The speed of molecules in a gas is . What will be the speed if the gas pressure and volume are both halved?
An experiment you're designing needs a gas with . You recall from your physics class that no individual gas has this value, but it occurs to you that you could produce a gas with by mixing together a monatomic gas and a diatomic gas. What fraction of the molecules need to be monatomic?
A monatomic gas is adiabatically compressed to of its initial volume. Does each of the following quantities change? If so, does it increase or decrease, and by what factor? If not, why not?
a. The speed.
b. The mean free path.
c. The thermal energy of the gas.
d. The molar specific heat at constant volume.
4. The mean free path of molecules in a gas is .
a. What will be the mean free path if the pressure is doubled while the temperature is held constant?
b. What will be the mean free path if the absolute temperature is doubled while the pressure is held constant?
moles of a diatomic gas with has initial pressure and volume . The gas undergoes a process in which the pressure is directly proportional to the volume until the speed of the molecules has doubled.
a. Show this process on a diagram.
b. How much heat does this process require? Give your answer in terms of , , and .
